Tim Holt (February 5, 1919 – February 15, 1973) was an American film actor best known for his youthful leading roles in Western films and his co-starring role opposite Humphrey Bogart in the 1948 film The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Charles John Holt III was born February 5, 1919 in Beverly Hills, California, the son of actor Jack Holt and Margaret Woods. During his early years, he accompanied his father on location, even appearing in an early silent film. Holt was educated at Culver Military Academy in Culver, Indiana, graduating in 1936.

Immediately afterward, he went to work in the Hollywood film business. Holt was signed to a contract by Walter Wanger in January 1937. Wanger gave him a small role in I Met My Love Again and was going to use him in Blockade, but that film was postponed. In between he portrayed Anne Shirley’s suitor in Stella Dallas (1937) for Sam Goldwyn attracting the attention of RKO. They cast him in the Western The Renegade Ranger supporting George O’Brien, who was their leading star of B-westerns. RKO tried him again in The Law West of Tombstone. Wanger then used Holt in the role of young Lieutenant Blanchard in the 1939 classic Stagecoach, then his contract expired. However RKO signed Holt to a seven year contract in December 1938.

Holt soon became a favorite with RKO management, starring opposite Ginger Rogers and playing important roles in films such as The Girl and the Gambler and Swiss Family Robinson. Although he initially appeared in a number of different genres, he was particularly effective in Westerns and RKO decided to star him in a series of low budget B-westerns. These proved highly popular and Holt wound up making 46 of them for the studio in all. Holt usually played a cowboy who had one or two friends, who occasionally sang. His most frequent director was Lesley Selander.
Holt would occasionally make other movies. His best known one was the lead in Orson Welles’s The Magnificent Ambersons (1942). He also starred as a Nazi in Hitler’s Children (1943), which was one of RKO’s most profitable films during the war.
Holt became a decorated combat veteran of World War II, flying in the Pacific Theatre with the United States Army Air Forces as a B-29 bombardier. He was wounded over Tokyo on the last day of the war and was awarded a purple heart.
